The present invention relates to a kimchi refrigerator, and more particularly to a kimchi refrigerator equipped with a module connector for controlling the flow of the refrigerant by a signal sensed through the contact sensing means.
In general, a refrigerator is a device for low temperature storage of food, and stored in a refrigerator or refrigerated according to a required condition of food to be stored. The cold air supplied to the inside of the refrigerator is generated by the heat exchange action of the refrigerant, is continuously supplied into the refrigerator while repeatedly performing a cycle of compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation, and the supplied refrigerant is supplied by convection. It is evenly distributed inside the refrigerator to store food in the refrigerator at a desired temperature.
In addition, the kimchi refrigerator is a refrigerator made for the purpose of storing kimchi, and is formed to enable temperature control so that the temperature of the internal storage space is maintained at 0 ~ 5 ℃ to allow the ripening and storage of kimchi.
In recent years, independent temperature control is possible in each storage space formed inside the Kimchi refrigerator, which is used to store not only kimchi but also various foods such as vegetables, fruits, and meat.
The kimchi refrigerator is divided into a lid type for opening and closing the lid of the upper surface according to the opening and closing method, a drawer type for storing the drawer-shaped storage space in and out of the drawer type, and a combination of the lid type and the drawer type, Compared to the general refrigerator to open and close there is an advantage of excellent ability to control the cold air.
On the other hand, the size tends to increase as the capacity is increased due to the change of consumer's consumption pattern, and the handling is easy during transportation and installation, and it is used independently by setting the temperature range of each cool box differently. Possible separate refrigerators have been developed and used.
Such a separate refrigerator will be described with reference to Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0311369. Hereinafter, a separate refrigerator according to the related art will be described with reference to the drawings.

In addition, the
In addition, as unnecessary refrigerant is continuously circulated, energy required for the circulation of the refrigerant is consumed, resulting in an inefficient energy consumption of the refrigerator.
In addition, there is a problem that the cooling efficiency is reduced as the efficiency of the refrigerant use is lowered, the efficiency of energy consumption is reduced as a whole. This may cause a problem that the maintenance cost or service cost of kimchi refrigerator increases.
An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, to provide a kimchi refrigerator equipped with a module connector that increases the cooling efficiency by controlling the flow of the refrigerant by a signal sensed through the contact sensing means. It is.
Kimchi refrigerator according to the present invention for achieving the object as described above is divided into a main body to form an external appearance, the upper and lower parts of the main body and the module connector, the food is stored inside In the Kimchi refrigerator comprising a module, a door forming a front appearance of the module, and a refrigerant pipe provided in the second half of the module flows the refrigerant as a working fluid therein, the contact is provided in the module connector It includes an opening and closing means for enabling the flow of the refrigerant in the refrigerant pipe by the sensing means or block the refrigerant flow in the refrigerant pipe.

The module connector may further include a sealing part for preventing leakage of the refrigerant.
The module connector is further characterized in that the control means for controlling the opening and closing means.
At least two modules are provided.
According to the kimchi refrigerator configured as described above, there is an advantage that the cooling efficiency and the energy consumption efficiency are improved, and the maintenance cost and the service cost are reduced.
Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings a preferred embodiment of the kimchi refrigerator according to the present invention having the configuration as described above will be described in detail.

Since heat transfer in the vacuum state is possible only by the heat transfer method due to radiation, the effect of thermal insulation is excellent. Therefore, since the heat insulation effect of such a vacuum state is excellent, the heat insulating material currently attracting attention is a vacuum heat insulating material.
Vacuum insulation is a method using a vacuum chamber surrounded by a double wall as one of a variety of insulation methods. The heat transfer in this case is determined by the emissivity and the heat transfer by contact. Since heat transfer by emissivity and contact is extremely fine, vacuum insulation materials are used for cold insulation materials.
Such a vacuum insulation material is produced by alternately stacking aluminum foil and glass fibers, wrapping it with plastic, and taking out the air from the inside to form the inside in a vacuum state.

In addition, when the rotatable door is attached, it may be possible to control the flow of the refrigerant by mounting a sensing means on the rear of the door or the front of the main body.
Kimchi refrigerator according to the present invention having the configuration as described above is configured to control the flow of the refrigerant by the sensing means mounted to the module connector according to each module position.
That is, when a part of each module is opened, the flow of the refrigerant is regulated, and when each module is shielded as a whole, the refrigerant is configured to flow smoothly.
Therefore, there is an effect that the efficiency of the use of the refrigerant that is the working fluid is improved.
When the efficiency of the refrigerant is improved, the overall cooling efficiency is also improved, and the efficiency of energy use is also improved due to the improvement of the cooling efficiency.
Increasing cooling efficiency and increasing energy use also reduce maintenance and service costs.
In addition, it is unnecessary to mount a refrigeration cycle on each module. Therefore, there is an effect that the space utilization of each module is increased.
Since the refrigeration cycle is unnecessary to each module, there is an effect that the productivity of the product is improved.
In addition, there is an effect that can be applied to a variety of modules, such as kimchi refrigerator, quick freezer, fresh storage to each module. As the various modules can be applied, it is possible to satisfy various needs of consumers.
